Viz Engine Administrator’s Guide

4 Getting Started

This section describes how To start Viz Engine , how To start Viz with command line

option, the Viz Command Line Options that are available and how To start Viz with

command line option .

Viz is mainly configured using Viz Config; however, all configuration settings are stored

in a file found in the program folder. The configuration file uniquely identifies the

machine Viz is installed on by using its hostname (e.g. Viz-<hostname>-0-0.cfg).

Any changes to the hostname will affect the configuration of Viz. If a hostname is

changed, a new configuration file is created with a default setup. The old configuration

file is not deleted, but left unused. It is possible to reassign the old configuration file

using the Viz command -g <config file> (see Viz Command Line Options).
